Book Contract

A few weeks ago I blogged that I had agreed to verbal terms with Multnomah for a multi-book contract. I'm still floating on cloud 9. I feel as called to write as I do to pastor. Excited about beginning a new chapter in my life.

My agent emailed me the 14 page contract today. Fired up about formalizing the deal. Now I just need a magnifying glass and a couple hours to figure out the "fine print."

I wonder if the "gift of interpretation" applies to legalese :)

You should not go about this alone - you should see if there is a lawyer in the congregation who can help navigate through the legalese. I'm not saying that the people you are working with are dishonest, but they most likely have a team of lawyers working for them. Good luck.

Fortunately my agent has been on both sides of this equation :) I'd hate to wade through something like this by myself!
